i coudnt get a proper elf last year BUT i ordered a dwarf from snow white off ebay, added gold ribbon round his ankles and hat (to cover name), added a bell to his hat and away we went.
the kids thought it was great and the elf got upto allsorts of mischief!
What kind of mischief did he get into?! Im intrigued as to know more about this elf stuff!! I have never even heard of it before!!
he arrived dec 1st with kids advent calendars and a letter from santa, and his journal to make notes in. when they had gone to school "and i had gone shopping!" he put the xmas tree and decs up and got stuck upside in the tree branches (my camera was o the tripod on the coffee table with pics of him on it! - the kids know i dont have a tripod.)
he had a party with the kids soft toys - cds all over the living room floor, few plastic bowls n beakers and a few bits of twiglet left.
he hid in the freezer as he missed the cold of north pole
was found in OH car on a sat morning with mcdonalds wrappers on the seat
he "vanished for a few days" (as we couldnt think what to do) he wrote he had gone back to north pole.
he made paper snowflakes and hung from ceiling
brought chocolate elves as a treat (20p each morrisons)
took photos next to all of us asleep (inc me and OH in same photo).
whenever he did somethng he made a note in the journal and us and the kids could write him notes.
there's a link to his blog in my signiture.
s
just hope we find one
